Has the Green Party solved the problem of campaign finance
and its corruptions?

I think they have. Does anybody have an example of where the Green Party was compromised in this area.

I don't want a flame war on Dems vs. Greens. I just want examples of where the Green Party has been corrupted if there are any.

Thanks

1. It is easy not to be corrupted
when you don't run anything. Green parties abroad have had less success in that regard. If they govern here and remain 'uncorupted' then give me a call.

3. Uhhhhh, point IN FACT
How can you reform the Campaign Finance system when no one gives you any money? And don't come back with some people give you money... I mean corporations. And while I'm at it, BCRA (Bipartisan Campaign Finace Reform) or better known as McCain-Feingold is pretty much MUTE because all of the soft money that used to go to the National Committees (RNC-DNC) are now going to stealth (527, 501c3, and 501C4 PACS) anyways. There is no campaign finance reform, it's just a new way of funneling all of the money.
